A Container Arrives

Antonye, left, surveys the wondrous load with Landon, center, and David, right.

July 5 the container packed in the US by Antonye Holyde was delivered to my house. What does a family take with them to a new country? Many musical instruments, including a grand piano and a double bass. It was a time for rediscovery, having forgotten most of what he had put into the container months ago.

How do you throw around a grand piano? Very carefully.

Antonye's helpers David and Landon packed two van loads of things to Hampstead with our Hungarian friend Jozsef driving. Piano movers and their truck arrived on time to handle the grand piano.

That big green thing on the right is indeed a double bass. But what are all the other green things?

Some things couldn't be stored at their house: PA gear for the church when it starts, more guitars, electrical gear. So I will hang onto that for Antonye until he needs it. Joanie was very impressed with the way he organized the equipment in the garage.
